Yeah, I definitely would say that Manafort was an asset. Whether or not he fully understood what his role was, you know, they might have lied to him about what is true. What their true intentions were.

Because Manafort actually knows what's going on with Russiagate. He was trying to warn Trump, and that's why they got him gagged.

So also you may remember that Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, two professed Christians, made a whole lot of money lobbying for and representing Siko. And his interests.

Manafort, since the early 80s, literally has worked for dictators, like murderers. He has lobbied for and gotten paychecks for blood. He knows that. And has done that. Same with Roger. They have known that their business is built on the deaths of people in other countries. And they've made peace with that.

So there's that, and then Paul Manafort was found guilty on eight out of 18 charges that he was facing, but that's only one of the...

Paul Manafort was held in solitary confinement for 23 hours out of every day. But some of that was for his own protection. Yeah, it's still torture. To be held in solitary confinement for that long is still torture.

So here's the article about Paul Manafort. A very effective way to conceal payment. We now know more about why Manafort offered private briefings to a Russian oligarch. Paul Manafort offered private briefings on the Trump campaign to a Russian oligarch in hopes of resolving a business dispute, a new report says. The dispute erupted as a result of a failed 2008 business deal. Manafort's representatives say the offer of private briefings never materialized, which is irrelevant in terms of motivation. Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort offered private briefings about the campaign to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska in hopes of resolving a years-long business dispute, sources told Bloomberg on Wednesday. The dispute stemmed from a failed business deal the two pursued in 2008 involving a Ukrainian TV company called Black Sea Cable, according to Bloomberg. Legal complaints filed by Deripaska's representatives in the Cayman Islands in 2014 say he gave Paul Manafort $19 million to invest in the company, but the project fell through and Manafort all but disappeared without paying back Deripaska. Deripasca's representatives were openly accusing Paul Manafort of fraud and pledging to recover the money from him as recently as early 2016, according to the Associated Press. But they reportedly backed off on accusations shortly after Manafort joined the campaign in the spring. So you have situations like this.

We went over this on the episode with Drees that had technical difficulties and shit, but the point that I made, and I stand by, is that Paul Manafort would never be tortured because he's a multi-millionaire. There's no way... Someone like him with the connections he has is ever going to be touched. Right, right, right.

Yeah, because Manafort was more based out of Ukraine and Yanukovych.

Paul Manafort, who was forced out as President Trump's campaign chairman last summer after five months of infighting and criticism about his business dealings with pro-Russian interests, disclosed Tuesday that his consulting firm had received more than $17 million over two years from a Ukrainian political party with links to the Kremlin. The filing serves as a retroactive admission that Mr. Manafort performed work in the United States on behalf of a foreign power, Ukraine's Party of Regions, without disclosing it at the time, as is required by law.

And that's why Paul Manafort can't go to Ukraine now. Sure. He will be killed.

Manafort was his campaign manager and got paid millions of dollars in order to install Yanukovych into power in Ukraine.

If some of the stuff that was in there is true, people like Paul Manafort, people like Carter Page, Roger Stone stood to gain billions of dollars from that 10%. Maybe not billions. Yeah, it's a trillion-dollar deal. Holy shit. And they had like 20% of it or something like that. Holy double shit. Yeah, it was a 19% stake in the third, like, I can't remember the precise figure, but it's in the trillions of dollars. Oh, well, then they stood to gain billions of dollars. Yeah, because it has to do with the fucking embargoes on oil in Russia.
